PALGRAVE STUDIES IN MIGRATION HISTORY BALTIC ...

Reflecting debate around hospitality and the Baltic Sea region  this open access book taps into
wider discussions about reception  securitization and xenophobic attitudes towards migrants and
strangers. Focusing on coastal and urban areas  the collection presents an overview of the
responses of host communities to guests and strangers in the countries surrounding the Baltic
Sea  from the early eleventh century to the twentieth. The chapters investigate why and how
diverse categories of strangers including migrants  war refugees  prisoners of war  merchants 
missionaries and vagrants  were portrayed as threats to local populations or as objects of
their charity  shedding light on the current predicament facing many European countries.
Emphasizing the Baltic Sea region as a uniquely multi-layered space of intercultural encounter
and conflict  this book demonstrates the significance of Northeastern Europe to migration
history.
